    The research activity is aimed at the development and validation of chromatographic methods (according to international guidelines, ICH) for the qualitative and quantitative determination of biologically active molecules in human and animal. It provides, in addition, to the study of all processes related to pre-analytical stages such as sampling, extraction and purification, separation, enrichment, even the application of conventional and hyphenated analytical methods for the accurate, sensitive and selective determination of biologically active molecules. Particular attention is given to the innovative (micro)extraction techniques and new instrumental configurations for complex matrix quantitative analysis.
